Canvassing in the Central Valley with Working America

Working America is mobilizing volunteers in the Central Valley to build the resistance and a majority for progressive change. Before you attend a training event with us, be sure to fill out this volunteer form and email or fax it to (510) 835-4913.

1) Attend a Volunteer Training

If you have not previously trained with us, select your date below, then on the RSVP form, be sure to select the "come early" option in the drop down menu to be trained in Modesto before your shift. Trainings will take place promptly at 10:00 a.m. before Saturday shifts and at 3:00 p.m. before weekday shifts. When you RSVP for an event, be sure to choose the proper start time based on whether you have previously been trained or not.

We are happy to train groups with 12 – 15 volunteers in locations other than Modesto – contact us by email to make arrangements. Those trained must commit to volunteer with us for at least one canvass.

2) Sign Up for Volunteer Shifts

Now you're ready to hit the streets with us to talk – and listen – and make a difference.

Volunteer shifts in CD 10 stage from our Modesto office at 1003 10th Street, Suite A. Volunteer shifts in CD 21 will stage from locations to be posted here, on the Working America website, and will be nearby the area we are canvassing at the time.

Space is limited for volunteer shifts, so please only RSVP to events you will be able to attend.

You will receive an automated confirmation when you sign up. You will also receive an automated reminder before your event date. If you accidentally sign up for the wrong date, just sign up again for the correct one, but be aware that you will still get an automated reminder for both the correct and incorrect date. Staff will also send you orientation materials.
